Mininet-WiFi: SDN emulator supports WiFi networks

Mininet-WiFi is a fork of the Mininet SDN network emulator. The Mininet-WiFi developers extended the functionality of Mininet by adding virtualized WiFi stations and access points based on the standard Linux wireless drivers and the 80211_hwsim wireless simulation driver. They also added classes to support the addition of these wireless devices in a Mininet network

Using the POX SDN controller

In this tutorial, we demonstrate basic software-defined networking (SDN) concepts using the POX SDN controller, POX components, and the Mininet network simulator. We will show how to use the POX SDN controller to update flow tables on the SDN switches in a simulated network so every host on the network can forward packets to another

How to use MiniEdit, Mininet’s graphical user interface

The Mininet network simulator includes MiniEdit, a simple GUI editor for Mininet. MiniEdit is an experimental tool created to demonstrate how Mininet can be extended. To show how to use MiniEdit to create and run network simulations, we will work through a tutorial that demonstrates how to use MiniEdit to build a network, configure network

Install Mininet on an Amazon EC2 server

To install the Mininet SDN network simulator on a remote server running on Amazon’s EC2 cloud, follow the procedure shown below. After installing it, I did some basic tests and it seems that Mininet works well on the Amazon EC2 server.

How to build Mininet documentation

After installing the Mininet software-defined network simulator on a virtual machine, you may want to build the documentation. Documentation is available on the Mininet web site but, if you installed a beta version of a new development release or installed an old version, you may want to use the documentation specific for the version you

How to install the Mininet SDN Network Simulator

Most people who use the Mininet network simulator will download and set up the Mininet virtual machine image. However, there are times when we may want to use a different version of Mininet than the one already installed in the Mininet VM. For example, we may want to use the newest features of Mininet currently
